Weekly Challenge Discussion Thread

No wall riding needed, but it's gotten much harder for cars that are not heavily PP optimized (150+kg of ballast strategically placed, Min/Max aero Front/Rear, etc) to win this. Track time and track knowledge help a lot too, of course.

IMO, the minimum tires to fit on any build should be Sports Mediums.

After some quick testing, the Volvo 240 Drift Brick is more stable than the Mazda at lower speeds because of Racing Tires and Turbo lag. You will have all the top speed and acceleration you need, but your braking distances will be VERY long.

Engine Swap
Widebody
Wide wheels

Custom Parts
Front - Type A
Rear - Type B (I don't think it matters)
Wing - Type A

Be gentle with the throttle, because turbo 1000+hp. And brake in a straight line or be ready for oversteer during trail braking.

It's a shame the AI is as hard as it is here, because I think this track has great flow.

THANK YOU🐶

Nice reference

"C You Space Cowboy" would reach out to more of the GT demographic, while also making less sense😅

Liked this week, even if we've had some of the tracks recently. Sunday Cup was pretty forgettable but I really enjoyed the Japanese Clubman Cup at Autopolis because it's at a great time of day, fun track in cars of that speed too. Hypercar Parade would be more fun if there was some weather involved, I was running out of cars to use to I turned to the Vulcan which turned out to be much too fast for the AI, still fun to drive at least. WTC 600 is a tricky event and harder than I remember given I needed 2:10 or lower to win. Ran a 600 PP swapped RX-7 and didn't have too many problems, I do really enjoy that layout too. Group C was more of what we've had in previous weeks as it was quite an easy race but still really enjoyable to drive those cars. RH on a 962 gave me around a 10 second margin at the end, struggled a little with the brakes locking as I was the fronts on 4 and 5 seemed to impact the overall braking distance. Can't really complain though given that's no ABS on a DS4.

Cars of the week:

There are my Group C cars for the special event this week. The last one is the renown 787b 🙂.

The toughest challenge will be the world touring car 600. I have tried this one many times last week and won it only with the Lexus LFA and the Diablo GT.

Ah, a man of taste I see. Looks like my garage. Group C are the best.

This BMW sounds like a beast! Listen to that engine and you'll find out how powerful this thing is, I blew the A.I. to shreds here. I'm proud of myself, but that was too easy.
